about

Latin and 70's inspired. Reminiscing about Teenage Rollerskating and headphones. Lyrics co-written with Rosina, the fabulous singer who sang on a couple of tracks on my previous album - 'Love from London'.
I was travelling to India to see my Tabla teacher in Kolkata. But I knew Rosina and her partner were in Goa about to perform some gigs. I had couldn't resist but take a flight straight from Kolkata to Goa and meet them. With guitar in hand we sat at the back of the beach behind some abandoned cow sheds and wrote this song in 10 minutes.

lyrics

midnight radio

verse 1
Rollerskating
Round the block
Over and over
till it got dark

verse 2
Record shopping
No time for toys
Body Popping
with the boys

verse 3
My dreams were
not on TV
Look at the radio
and into me
There my world
would come alive
All was real
All was right

SO i'd listen to

Chorus
Midnight Radio *2

Frigian break *3

verse 4
I recorded my favourite song
Slice the tape
and all was done

verse 5
Looked into the dark
till I was dead
I knew all the lines
Me and my best friend

verse 6
Her eyes were green
Her name was red
My secret friend
We had secret dreams

verse 7
Wanted to help her
Help her bad
Even with my love
She still felt sad

SO WE'D LISTEN TO

Chorus
Midnight Radio *4

Chorus
Strings only

Frigian break

Verse*2
Guitar solo

Chorus
Midnight Radio

Frigian break
